Merit Brass MB11610 Press Street 45 Elbow 1 Inch

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS MB11610 is a 1-inch press street 45-degree elbow designed for use in press-fit piping systems. This fitting allows a directional change of 45 degrees without the need for solder, flux, or open flame, making it a faster and cleaner alternative to traditional sweat connections. The street-style end accepts a plain pipe end directly, eliminating the need for an additional coupling at one side of the connection. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit projects where press tooling is on site.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 45-degree directional change is required in a 1-inch press piping run. Typical installations include domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution lines, and similar closed-loop systems. The street configuration is especially useful in tight spaces where threading on a standard coupling is not practical. Press fittings of this type are commonly installed by licensed plumbers following local plumbing code requirements.

Key Features

• 45-degree street elbow geometry allows a direction change with one fewer fitting in the run
• Press-fit connection eliminates soldering, reducing labor time and fire risk on the job
• 1-inch nominal size fits standard 1-inch press-compatible pipe
• Compact design suited for tight mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch press-fit piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a press tool approved for the fitting series being used. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Verify pipe ends are clean, deburred, and free of debris before pressing. All work should be performed by a licensed plumber in compliance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) where adopted.
